That’s a kit sold by 42keebs iirc

Shame

It sure took them a while!

I’m curious how they had to send the floppy disk. Like, go to a special place to use an old computer that could still write to floppy disks? Or create your word document/pdf, compress it as much as possible and somehow find a place to put that on a floppy?

You need an apple device for it to render correctly

How does that go battery wise?

Yes, alas C++ is fun, but very quirky. Perhaps too much. For big (new) projects I wouldn't recommend it. People are trying to fix it but it's hard and without breaking old features I don't think it will be possible to make it better and improve it even more.

This isn't selfhosted but you can use uptime robot. They can send regular http get requests or ping an IP or URL, the free tier can have like 10 monitors I think? I receive an email when an host isn't available, in 5 minutes usually.

I know someone that remapped their keyboard to have ;hjkl instead of hjkl; (this is a split keyboard running qmk). This way they could keep hjkl and not remap anything inside (neo)vim.

I prefer the pro as it has more power and active heat dissipation through fans. Otherwise you said it, they are pretty much the same.

The Model M sure looks really cool! I've 'ever used one, but it feel very retro (and I like retro stuff too) and the community generally agrees that they have really good switches. What do you use your Model M for?

Exactly, I tried this configuration on paper and then on a Cantor (42 keys, 6 columns) and this felt better for me and a friend than reaching down.

It boots "fine", but I'm now pretty sure it will crash again the same way. The disk is only 5 years old, I hope it's not an hardware problem.
